A Busy First Week!

My first week of classes is officially over! It's only been one week, but for some reason the past few weeks have just been jam-packed with everything happening all at once, so I have a lot to catch you up on!

My other classes that I didn't have Monday and so haven't mentioned are: English Lit, Foundational Principles of Education and Creative Writing!

English is good so far! The professor is a very peppy, quirky man, and seems really nice. Although he did apparently teach at my friend's high school and was universally hated... but maybe he's turned over a new leaf! So far, not much has happened, though--except our first quiz, over some vocab and such. We also did a bit of scansion with poetry, which I haven't done since Latin class in high school! So that was a nice throwback. :)

(Speaking of high school Latin, my new French professor is very fond of Gimkit, just like my high school Latin teacher! We've played it in two out of our three periods so far and I love that throwback as well!)

Foundations of Education is a little scarier honestly. I think part of that is because it's outside of my comfort zone, but also the teacher is a little intimidating. Maybe she's just neurotypical, though, I don't know. But so far we've not done very much at all. The only thing is that my textbook, which I ordered several weeks ago, is still on backorder and hasn't arrived---ughhh.

Creative Writing is pretty fun! Although it did cause a minor breakdown moment Wednesday when I realized I had an assignment due from the textbook... which I did not have. And so I had a breakdown and had to go get the library copy, and stay up till one doing homework.  But I eventually got it done on time, even though I got an extension. Creative Writing is also a Zoom class, and I'm always a couple minutes late purely because I have to run all the way from the opposite side of campus back to my dorm. It wasn't supposed to be one, which is why I got in this pickle, but the professor had some sort of emergency that's keeping him on the west coast with his family.

Besides that, the K-Pop Club has been going amazingly! Except there is a creepy guy that allegedly has a history of touching girls that's potentially trying to come to a meeting next week, and so I have an emergency meeting about that with the faculty advisor and risk management officer later today. (This creepy guy is also heavily involved in the language/linguistics departments and I just. can't. frigging. escape him!!)

Also, one of my suitemates moved out and dropped out without telling the rest of us?!? It happened yesterday morning. My roommate and my other suitemate had both gone to class, and this suitemate asked us in our group text thread if she could bring her brother over to "help her with something". We all said yes, and I was in my room working on homework at around 8:30 or 9 when she asked this. I even came out once to get a drink while she was moving out and she said nothing! So when I left my room to go to class at around 10:15, every trace of her was gone. I asked what the deal was and she said she had dropped out and left! I wish her all the best, but honestly I think it's a little concerning. If she had asked me I would've encouraged her to at least stick out two weeks--but alas, she didn't ask me. I still wish her well in her future!

I've also seen some of my friends for the first time this year! It's really nice to see them all again. :)

That's about all that's happened this week! Now, I have to go do some reading for my Creative Writing Class. Toodles!
